Trucks rock. I plan to get an old grain truck, get some historical plates and park it in my driveway to use as a fuel dispenser for my Diesel cars. I've got an itch to go get a '50s vintage Dodge M-37 Weapons Carrier, like this one:
Converting it to diesel would be easy enough - there's room under that hood for just about anything. I know there are transmission adapters available that allow Chevy small-block engines to be fitted, so options abound.

How long is that? About as long as your regulation pickup, or bigger?
It looks like it could withstand even me.

I've always wanted the ambulance (BIG station wagon) version of those trucks.
On a long wheelbase truck there is generally room to mount all sorts of fuel tanks. Putting a couple hundred gallons of Diesel along with the 50 gal gasoline tank to use in driving the truck wouldn't be a big deal.
